My daughter and her husband chose Milton Ridge for their wedding venue. I live on the opposite coast so I had no opportunity to have a look myself. She and her husband were very happy with the layout of the property and the location. She assured me that staff were warm and friendly as well as very professional and that all questions were addressed promptly and in great detail. My daughter and her husband felt listened to and respected by everyone at Milton Ridge. I was anxious but it was their wedding and they had done a lot of research! I am overjoyed that they chose Milton Ridge for their very special day!! I spoke to many guests and family members that day and evening; everyone had high praise for the couple’s choice of venue. The property is self-contained with a beautiful turn of the century chapel on the lower level of the property and a very large bricked patio on the upper level; with an enormous wooden gazebo at one end and tiered garden area at the opposite end. Indoor or outdoor wedding?? Hard to choose as both areas are sooooo lovely. The Bridal suite and Grooms quarter are in a building adjacent to the chapel on the lower level of the property. Another turn of the century building with Bridal suite, porch and porch swing on the ground level and the Grooms quarters on the 2nd level via a private enclosed stairway; providing total privacy for both parties and their respective entourages. Both areas were very well appointed, comfortable and large; plenty of room for multiple people in each area to get ready for the big day! The Reception Hall was on the upper level with a porch and short stairway leading from the hall to the outdoor patio. The Hall was fresh and bright with plenty of room for DJ, tables, dance floor, bar and buffet without feeling overfilled or crowded. Bride and Groom chose the bar-b-que menu for their dinner; it was beautifully presented, delicious and plentiful. No one left Milton Ridge hungry that evening! The wait staff and bartenders were all very attentive and had obviously been very well trained at table service and bar service respectively. Music was provided by a DJ who was contracted by Milton Ridge and was included with the package that my daughter and her husband had chosen. The selection was a mix of old and new with the focus of getting the guests up and dancing. He was very good at his job and he accomplished his goal! Last but definitely not least; the photographer; also contracted with Milton Ridge! He was amazing!!! The unique shots, quality and beauty of his work left us speechless. He was everywhere, but never in the way, always inconspicuous and watching for that perfect candid shot. Even his posed photos had a very relaxed casual look about them. All photos were organized and available to the newlyweds on the Milton Ridge website within 10days of their wedding day!! ALL pictures belong to her and her husband to print, copy and share with whoever they wish!! Milton Ridge exceeded my expectation and I would never hesitate to recommend them to anyone!!

Our venue offers a memorable, romantic and serene natural setting amidst the rolling hills of West Virginia. Sitting in the shadows of the highest peak in the eastern portion of West Virginia. Cacapon Resort State Park offers 6,000 acres of exciting outdoor getaways all year-round. The word Cacapon is a derivative of a Shawnee Indian word meaning "medicine waters," a reference to the area's mineral waters that have been renowned throughout history for their healing powers. The park is frequented by both nature lovers and adventure seekers from around the state, as well as nearby cities such as Baltimore and Washington, D.C. Cacapon Resort is also a draw for history buffs due to its proximity to the historic town of Berkeley Springs and Harpers Ferry National Historical Park.

Willowood is such a stunning event space. The interior design and landscaping are so thoughtful and intentional—it’s clear how much care went into creating it. I especially love the old barn. There’s truly nothing else like it, and the way it’s been lovingly restored is incredible. They managed to honor the history of the property while also giving it a modern, fresh feel that works beautifully for today’s events. Everywhere you look, the rolling hills and gorgeous scenery make for the perfect backdrop. There are so many spots across the property that can be used in different ways, whether it’s for weddings, family reunions, retreats, or anything in between. What makes Willowood really stand out is its versatility—it has the ability to suit so many different event styles while still feeling personal and special. You can tell the owners poured their hearts into this place, and it shows in every detail.

Caboose Farm is a magical dream! We wanted a wedding venue that allowed some of our guests to stay on site, allowed us to host both the wedding and reception as well as a welcome dinner for all of our guests on Friday. We almost gave up on that dream until we visited Caboose Farm on a cold day in November and knew it would be perfect! Flash forward to September and it was a gorgeous property full of flowers!! Our guests were blown away by the houses, the glade where we decided to have the ceremony, the event barn where we had a BBQ Friday and cocktail hour Saturday, and our tented reception overlooking the amazing property. We worked with Colby and our wedding planners the Otherside Creatives to sort out the many aspects of our wedding weekend and everything was perfect. We had a roaring fire both nights, beautifully crafted cocktails, and a golf cart always at the ready to help some of our unsteady guests. We cannot recommend Caboose Farm and their team enough! Truly the best weekend of our lives!

The Barn at Hill Country was an incredible venue for our wedding. From the moment we first inquired, the staff was efficient, quick to respond, and incredibly kind and supportive. They provided us with a beautiful, private, and very clean space to get ready together on site, which was so convenient and special. Even the club members who were there to shoot and not a part of the wedding were so sweet and congratulatory! On top of that, my husband actually broke his ankle only days before the wedding, and Orvis went beyond the expectations to make sure he was able to get around with ease! Riding down the aisle after the ceremony rather than being carried is a great way to go! The quality of their work and overall value was exceptional. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to celebrate our special day.

Enjoy everything the farm has to offer! Walker's Overlook is the founding venue in the Overlooks family.

We are excited to meet you and delighted to help you plan your perfect day! From the spacious bridal suite upstairs to the mancave downstairs there's so much more to the stone built colonial house than just great photo ops! The old walnut tree at the ceremony site is a gorgous backdrop to your vows with the rolling countryside and farmland of Maryland completing the perfect setting. Then reserve a sweet spot on the patio or inside the house for cocktails before dinner is served in the spacious tent. Complete with hardwood floor, the tent can accomodate up to 275 guests comfortably, and still has space for a large dance floor.

Walker's Overlook is a hidden gem and was the perfect venue for our October wedding! The ceremony area is absolutely gorgeous and provides an incredible backdrop for photos, while the reception tent offers a cozy, rustic vibe complete with wood floors and string lights. The owners, Mark and David, are the best. They are both super hands-on and were great to communicate with throughout the whole process. Mark checked in on us regularly during the year leading up to our wedding and made sure we knew exactly what to expect on the wedding day. One of the best things about Walker's is that they provide an in-house wedding coordinator, so we didn't need to hire a separate planner. Our coordinator, Tammy, was INCREDIBLE -- she knows the industry inside and out and made our wedding day completely seamless and stress-free. Walker's Overlook truly provided the venue of our dreams and I can't recommend them enough!

We spent months researching barn/farm venues in Virginia, and there were clear differences between the commercial barn venues (fake) and the true country barn venues. Faith Like a Mustard Seed Farm (FLAMS) fell into our laps when we were searching the historical area and farmlands of Leesburg. Bonus #1: it’s an active farm with variety of animals that you can interact with and take pictures with! Not only do they advertise a classic red barn, there is a separate cocktail building with a backroom for the groomsmen, a cute cottage for the bridal party, and a pond down the hill with big willow tree that’s the perfect secluded spot for the first look! Bonus #2: FLAMS owners Patricia and Karl are two of the most kind-hearted, hard-working, and genuine people we’ve ever met! From the moment we first drove down the gravel road and Patricia was waving in excitement for us, we felt so welcome! During our walkthrough of the venue, seeing all the beautiful ceremony and reception options, we got to meet some of the farm animals and hear about the success story of their dream venture and where the name came from. It couldn’t have been a more meaningful story and we felt as if it was meant to be! We booked the venue months in advance for a June 2025 wedding, placed a deposit and signed the contract - which was simple and less than 10 pages. We found out we were pregnant in November 2024, and quickly called Patricia to discuss options. They were open to moving the date one time (which is outlined in their contract) as long as the date was open, so we moved it up to April 2025. They were genuinely excited for us and reassured us it would be the perfect day at the perfect time of the season. We wanted to do things a little untraditional and simplify things to make it easier on me considering I would be six months pregnant by then. We planned for a pre-wedding cocktail hour with drinks and some of our favorite snacks, (bonus #3: they setup a photoshoot for the guests with the mini horses!) We were able to pull off a pre-staged setup in the barn for the ceremony, dinner, and big reception, all without having to do any major rearrangements in between. We had an open bar the entire time, dinner buffet, DJ was setup on a stage in the corner, perfect display for our wedding cake, (bonus #4: Karl is a licensed officiant so we were blessed to have him marry us) and the whole plan was wonderfully executed by all. Even with the crazy weather (rain on and off all morning, and wild winds that shook the barn in even the quietest moments) Patricia and Karl did everything in their power to make our day smooth sailing and flawless. If something didn’t go as planned, it was resolved with the wedding coordinator before we ever knew about it! By the end of the night, we were all gathered on the dance floor, drinks up celebrating, and I remember seeing Patricia and Karl dancing alongside everyone. I was hoping they would get to enjoy their evening with us just as much as we got to enjoy ours, literally thanks to all their hard work and efforts to make our wedding day perfect. Faith Like a Mustard Seed Farm wasn’t just the perfect farm wedding venue with the perfect old red barn like I always dreamed of. It became one of the most sentimental places in our lives, on one of the most sentimental days of our lives, with every sentimental person in our lives - including Patricia and Karl. “Highly recommended” isn’t the proper term, it’s a MUST HAVE EXPERIENCE!

The Manor at Airmont is an absolutely stunning venue resting in the mountains of Round Hill, VA. They are an all-inclusive venue with a team comprised of mostly family. From start to finish, the team catered to our interests and really focused on creating a wedding that was memorable and unique to us. Every single member of the Manor team was so friendly and professional and made us feel extremely special. It was so nice giving a general vision to wedding planner Natallia and seeing what she and her team came up with to bring it to life...and boy did they DELIVER. They gave us the maximalist, royal court wedding of our dreams! Guests were blown away by the decor and people are still raving about the amazing food created by Zesty Gourmet. It was such a beautiful experience throughout and guests still call me up to tell me it was the BEST wedding they have ever been to. The best part? We planned our wedding with the Manor in just under a year with ZERO stress. We had numerous meetings to make final decisions on decor and food, but they made it the most fun year of engagement bliss without any of the wedding planning stress. The perfect wedding for a perfect end to our perfect year. WE LOVE THE MANOR AT AIRMONT!

Wes and Jill and all of Cimiez Manor made our wedding truly magical. We met Jill in November of 2019 right after we got engaged looking for a venue that could handle a moderately sized wedding without breaking the bank and still available on the most popular wedding date of 2020 at the time (10.10.2020). The venue is off the beaten trail up the road from Dry Mill Winery. When you drive down the road you see a beautiful manor house that checked off our first box. We walked into the house and Jill decorated the giant chalkboard wall with our name for an extra special touch. The high ceilings, giant chandelier, Victorian era decor, and the speakeasy charm had us hooked. Once we signed, Jill and Wes kept us updated on all the happenings at the venue and changes that incurred with a COVID wedding. They worked well with our wedding planner and we really couldn’t have had a better wedding. They even let us hide a bottle of whiskey on the property for good luck! If you are truly looking for a magical wedding, Cimiez Manor should be the first choice!

We had the most incredible experience at The Tannery Barn! From our very first tour to the big day itself, David, our coordinator and venue manager, was absolutely amazing. He was kind, encouraging, and so easy to work with. David handled every detail flawlessly—no issue ever made its way to us on the wedding day because he was already on top of it! He anticipated potential problems before they even happened and kept everything running perfectly on time. Our ceremony through the arches and our pictures under the willow tree absolutely stunning—everything came together to create the most beautiful backdrop for our vows.

The venue was perfect for our October wedding. We held the ceremony under the Pavilion just before sunset so by the lighting was perfect! The vibe is a little country or rustic so it was perfect for our sunflower theme. Our reception in the barn was spacious and we didn’t feel crowded with our party of 85 guests. The buffet was delicious, and our special bride and groom mocktails were seasonal and delicious too! We were able to have a video showing on the large screen TV’s which was extra special. The staff was very helpful, friendly, and professional. I would highly recommend Clyde’s as a wedding venue. Be sure to book early to get the date and time you want.
